WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW
WHEAT RIDGE CITY PLAN
Wheat Ridge, CO
how can an evolving first ring suburb in a strong region become the best version of itself?
SUMMARY
czb returned to Wheat Ridge in 2024 to help the community craft a new comprehensive plan, which is referred to as the City Plan. Since the mid-2000s, when the city was struggling to compete in the Denver region, Wheat Ridge has taken critical steps to improve quality of life and attract new investment. Market change and demographic change in the Denver metro have impacted Wheat Ridge, positioning the city to carefully weigh next steps as a community. The City Plan process will focus on refining the city's development vision of gradual, managed change and developing the planning tools to support it. The draft Wheat Ridge City Plan will be publicly available in the first quarter of 2025.
Checking in with the community at each step of the process.
The Wheat Ridge City Plan process features multiple engagement rounds where previous public input is reflected and vetted, and where the latest thinking from the czb and city staff team is shared and reality tested.
